About Me

Alessia Botturi Selections

Alessia has combined her wine competences and her Italian origins exploring some gems of the viticulture still unknown in the US.

The wines she selected are a true expression of the area where they come from: strongly linked to the traditions and the terroir.

They all come from small wineries, family held and focused on bringing their wines to the highest levels of excellence.

All the wines have Alessia's name on the back label, to guarantee the high quality of what you are drinking.

Here are her answers to the Winemonger 5 question interview, with lots of wine pairing suggestions for everyday drinking and the upcoming Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.
